Congratulations to All!!!

In our own little way, we have successfully celebrated the 36th Anniversary of UST not only for ourselves, but for the less fortunate (thru the Medical-Dental Mission). I hope everyone felt young once again during the Mini Olympics last March 3 at Fil-Invest which was participated by different all batches.

Despite the rains and brownout, I know that this didn’t dampen your spirits. There were those who were present at Packo’s that didn’t make it to Fil-Invest and vise-versa. I think we need more “People-Intensive” projects in the future to measure our real strength.

Philippine Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam Virginia H. Benavidez reported to the Department of Foreign Affairs that about 100 members of the Filipino community and Embassy staff joined the parade in celebration of Brunei Darussalam’s 23rd National Day on 24 February 2007. The Filipino community, with Mr. Silverio Antonio “Bennett” F. Palad III(UST Chapter ‘82), the Filipino coach of the Brunei National Basketball Team, leading them during the parade, marched past His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam. The Filipino contingent, with their buri hats decorated in colors of the Philippine flag donned over their multi-colored distinctively designed and eye-catching Filipiniana attire, attracted the attention and appreciation of His Majesty and of the members of the media present. Ambassador Benavidez expressed her appreciation to the Brunei Government for inviting the Filipino community to participate in the national day parade. She added that the Filipino community’s participation raises the profile of the Filipino people and projects the identity and culture of the Philippines in Brunei. “It is also a wonderful opportunity for the Filipino Community in Brunei to join the people of Brunei in celebrating this auspicious event and to show their appreciation and closeness as friends, neighbors and partners,” she added.

Other foreign communities that participated in the event were the Indian and Malaysian contingents.
